A New Arrested Development Season Is Hitting Netflix Next Year

Time to do a chicken dance.

Arrested Development fans, get ready to blue yourselves. Production on a fifth season of the cult favorite is apparently set to start early next year, The Wrap reports.

Producer Brian Grazer said on The Adam Carolla Show podcast that production would start after January 1, and new episodes would start streaming around April 2016. He said that everyone involved is onboard.

"Netflix is determined to do more episodes, so we're going to do more episodes," Grazer told Carolla. Netflix would not comment to Business Insider about Grazer's announcement.

This isn't the first time Grazer has hinted at the return of the Bluth family. He had previously said that the season would last 17 episodes, though Netflix would not comment on that either.

It's unclear where Michael Bluth and the gang will end up in the next season, or if production will have to deal with the actors' scheduling conflicts that led to a season that felt a little disjointed. But if it doesn't work out, there's always money in the banana stand.
